The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

This time, it was Akiko's turn to be silent.

She didn't know how much these two children cared for each other, but she was also worried about their future.

That's a really hard road.

Any parent will not have the heart to see their children go astray without stopping.

Seeing Akiko's struggle, Liang moved his knees a step forward and gently held Akiko's hand.

"Mother, I assure you that we will not fall. We just chose a different path from others. But there is not only one way to reach happiness. Back then, my father was just an unknown You still chose him as a legendary chess player. In order to subsidize your family, you even found several part-time jobs after quitting your job. I think you must have a deeper understanding of 'happiness' than I do..."

Akiko's eyes widened slightly in Liang's words.

Liang seemed to understand his mother's confusion, and said with a smile, "My father told me not long ago."

"Xingyang is really..."

Looking at his mother whose cheeks were faintly flushed, Liang leaned over again, put his hand on hers, and held it tighter.

"Mom, please believe me, because I met the light, I was able to become a better version of myself. He is like the sun, illuminating every corner of my life."

Akiko's lips moved slightly.

She raised her head and still asked Liang unwillingly: "Can we really not separate?"

The corners of Liang’s eyes were a little red, he looked at Ming Zi, and said in a hoarse voice: “I used to think that the reason why the God of Chess let me meet Guang was to let me bring him to the road of Go—the improvement of chess skills is of course inseparable. Hard work, but talent is equally important. And Guang, he has an amazing talent in Go. But then I realized that the person who really needs him is me.”

"When you are used to the black and white world, one day someone suddenly breaks into your life, and your world becomes colorful because of his appearance; when his existence has already become a part of your life, you will still let go. Let him go, are you willing to let him go?"

Liang tilted his head slightly, and smiled lightly at Mingzi.There seemed to be a layer of care in this smile, but it still couldn't be hidden and showed.

"Guang, he is like the other half of my soul. Forcibly stripping him from my life is tantamount to cutting bones and flesh, and I am no longer me..."

It was a voice that couldn't be more peaceful, but when it fell on Mingzi's ears, it was like thunderclaps, shaking her heart and gallbladder.

Deboning and cutting meat, Xiao Liang, do you know how heavy these four words are?

Shinto...how long have you known him?His absence makes you not hesitate to use these four words to define it?

Mingzi's heart sank heavily, but her upbringing made her unable to speak rudely, let alone speak harshly to her own child.

After a long silence, Liang finally heard his mother say, "I see."

Just, I know.

In Liang's heart, although the image of his father is tall and stalwart, it is his mother who really supports the family.

And at this moment, for the first time, he truly felt his mother's weakness.

His mother without his father gave him a feeling of isolation and helplessness.

Liang felt sorry for his mother.

But this time, he had no choice.

"Mother, I'm sorry."

Liang said, and lowered his head slumped.In the air, it seemed as if a black cloud suddenly descended, covering him in shadow.

And outdoors, bamboo sticks lightly tap the stone slabs.

Akiko seemed to finally have a reaction.

She moved her fingers slightly, looked up at Liang, and murmured repeatedly: "You child, you child..." Immediately, she stretched out her hand and pulled Liang into her arms.

Liang slammed his head into his mother's arms, his expression almost stunned.

I can't remember how long I haven't been close to my mother like this.

His mother and father are both his close relatives. He loves them from the bottom of his heart, but they always seem to be separated by a certain distance, with a bit of strangeness. Because of this, in his daily relationship, he has never been able to talk to them easily. To express what is in his heart, so when he first visited Jinfuzhai and Tingguang called his parents "Mom and Dad" without any scruples, he was almost envious in his heart.

But at this moment, being held in his mother's arms so intimately, Liang didn't know how to react for a while due to his shyness as a teenager.

He froze slightly in Akiko's arms.

Mingzi reproachfully slapped him lightly on the back: "Can't you lose your temper and be self-willed with your mother once in a while?"

Hearing this, Liang opened his eyes slightly, and then he seemed to have suddenly learned how to get along with his mother without a teacher. He smiled and hugged his mother gently, then straightened up, and said embarrassedly: "So this time, I am not for you. Are you having a problem?"

After returning home, Guang turned over a few pages of chess records at first.

But as expected, not a single word was read.

Later, he simply obeyed his heart, grabbed the phone, and nestled on the sofa the whole time.

For a lazy person by nature, it is not difficult to spend an hour or two in a daze.

But this day, Guang was a little restless, and even the familiar thing of being in a daze seemed less focused.

I don't know if it's because it's too quiet, but the play of two neighbor's children can be clearly heard from the corridor outside the house, and it seems a bit noisy when it comes in through the door.

Guang frowned slightly, and turned on the TV casually, trying to cover the sound from outside the house.

After turning on the TV for a while, the outside of the room became quiet, and suddenly I felt that the sound of the TV was a little loud.

So, I lowered the volume a few notches irritably.

Guang turned his head and glanced at the balcony, the sunlight had completely set.

Although it is not completely invisible, it is always time for pedestrians on the road to go home one after another.

At this time, the mobile phone beeped suddenly.

Excited, he couldn't hold the phone firmly, and turned it around in his hand for several times before clicking on the message.

- I'll be home right away.

The heart began to chatter for no reason, like a test taker who was stopped outside, waiting to check the score and check the list.

The sound of the heartbeat was superimposed with the sound from the TV, which immediately produced a deafening effect.

But the sound of the heartbeat cannot be blocked, so I had no choice but to turn off the TV, and then tried my best to discuss it with Mr. Heart, so that it would not be so excited a little bit.

It has been 15 minutes since Liang sent the message.

"Why is that guy so slow?" He couldn't help but whisper in his heart, "I don't know where he was just now!"

Just getting more and more angry!

Just as he was thinking about whether to go out to pick up that idiot, Guang suddenly heard a slight rattle from the door lock.

He froze for a moment, and then shot his gaze towards the entrance like an arrow.

The lock rang again.

As if he was finally sure, the whole person jumped up from the sofa.

Already the sound of the key turning in the lock could be heard.

Guang ran out two steps, remembered that he was not wearing slippers, and turned back in a hurry.But the more anxious and chaotic, the dead piston on his right foot couldn't get into the slipper.

Guang's gaze was fixed on the entrance door all the time, seeing that the door was about to open, Guang didn't care so much, kicked off his slippers, and ran towards the entrance with his socks on.

But the floor and the slippers may be the same group. I can’t see the dog abusers seeing the person they miss so quickly. They only ran a few steps. Maybe because they ran too fast, their feet slipped, and the whole person staggered forward. Liang just opened the door and came in at this time, seeing this scene, his face immediately changed in fright.

"Light!"

Just heard Liang call his name.

But stopping at this moment meant that he had to keep a distance of at least two meters from Liang, and he didn't even want to have a distance of one millimeter.

Liang's blurred face flashed across his shaky vision, and Guang's footsteps did not stop, he only adjusted his pace a little, and rushed towards Liang's place again.

At the entrance, Liang's expression changed from panic to relief, and then from relief to emotion.

Such a familiar picture.

Three months ago, he stood in the same place like this, watching the light run towards him.

But this time, without waiting for the light to approach, he leaned forward, taking the flying light into his arms with a completely open attitude.

Guang didn't even think about stopping, the moment he crashed into Liang's arms, all the weight of his body fell on Liang's body.

Liang tightened his arms, and for a few seconds, he completely lifted Guang off the ground!

During the few seconds when his feet were off the ground, Guang felt that his body suddenly lost weight.

Before Liang came back, he planned to interrogate him for a series of crimes, but it seemed that because of the weightlessness, they suddenly became lighter and less important.

The moment he saw Liang, Guang suddenly didn't want to care about anything.

Just turn it back on.

So, Guang circled his arms, hugged Liang's neck tightly, put his cheek close to Liang's side face, and said softly: "I forgive you, Liang. You almost lost me, and I forgive you; I forgive you for losing your temper; you came to my house without permission and disrupted my plan, I forgive you. I don’t care about other things that you keep from me. But,” he said He raised his head and locked Liang's eyes, "But, let me say it again for the last time, from this second on, really don't hide anything from me, because all your ownership belongs to me."

His fingertips ran through Liang's hair: "Your hair is mine."

She stroked his thin lips lightly again: "This is mine."

"And your heart." His fingertips finally stopped on Ryo's heart, "It must also be engraved with Shinto Hikari's name."

A very "Hitaka Shindo" type of declaration.

With a bright smile, he grabbed Hikari's hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it.

"Well, it's all yours."

Leaning against Liang's body for a while, he smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, and only then did he notice what Liang was holding in his hand.

"Flowers?" He was slightly surprised.

"En." Bright spot nodded, and handed the bouquet in front of Guang, "I went to the flower shop in the afternoon, and when I saw white roses, I wanted to buy them for you, but it was really inconvenient. You bring a bunch."

Just looking at the bouquet in front of him, he was suddenly unable to think. He was stunned for half a second before he seemed to come back to his senses and carefully held the bouquet in his hand.

Looking at the lover with trembling eyelashes in his arms, Liang really couldn't connect the dazed light at this moment with the lifesaver who was in danger that morning.

Last night was so rushed that he didn't even have time to count the lights.Now that he finally had the opportunity, Liang let go of Guang slightly, and looked straight into Guang's eyes: "I never had the chance to say before, Guang, that day, you handled it very well, very, very well. If we change places, I will definitely be messed up." .”

Just listening to the bright words, he should have been immune to his rhetoric, but at this moment, his eyes still felt hot.

Kind of embarrassing.

He couldn't help but bury his face in Liang's shoulder socket, and rubbed his eyes against his clothes lightly.

In the ear, came Liang's low laughter: "My shoulders are wet, Guang."

Guang raised his head suddenly: "How can there be!"

Responding to being swayed, he hurriedly lowered his reddish eyes again, and leaned his head heavily on Liang's shoulder.

Just hug Liang so loosely.

His eyes were bent, his ears were pricked up, and he took a deep breath of the breath on the bright clothes.

Guang only felt like playing cotton in his heart, soft and warm.

He couldn't help but hug Liang tighter, as if even Liang's tight waist line under the clothes was clearly discernible.

It's also his.

Guang smiled, and felt the tail behind him also raised.

But the tail only wagged a few times, then suddenly stopped, stiffened into a wooden stick.

Guang raised his head, and asked with some trepidation: "Did Mrs. Mingzi ask you to come back?"

Liang's chin clicked lightly: "Well, I was kicked out."

Guang: "Huh?"

He frowned, with a anxious expression on his face.

Liang hurriedly pressed the light, and gently smoothed the worry between his brows with his index finger: "Fool, this is just an exaggeration. I want to see you worry about me, but when you are really worried, I can't bear it anymore."

Liang said, and smiled again: "Remember what you said? As long as we are together, we can face any problem. Although it will take a while, I think my mother was defeated by your 'ingenuity' .”

The bare handwritten resume...

Before going out, his mother handed it to him.

On the resume, from the name, birthday, family members, contact information, home address, to the elementary school, junior high school, favorite people and things, there are almost every detail, and there are two full sheets.

There are words that have seen the light before the light.

Very... informal.

But this time on the full 2 ​​pages, every stroke is neat and meticulous.

At the end of the handwriting, Guang still wrote: "I have a bad temper, poor psychological quality, and poor self-care ability. All the 'software' are trying to upgrade. But only one ability, I am confident that I will not lose to the world. Like anyone—that is the ability to like Ryo. Just because I like him, I can know that he is not really angry when he is angry sometimes, and he is not really smiling when he smiles. It is also because of the feeling of "like" , I feel like I can be fearless and omnipotent.”

How long did it take Kwang to write this manuscript?

It was almost impossible for him to imagine how Guang could calm down and write these words stroke by stroke, but he seemed to be able to accurately describe Guang's expression of scratching his ears and cheeks while writing, and occasionally feeling a little out of breath.

Just thinking about it, I can't help laughing, and at the same time, I feel very cherished.

On the way back, Liang had already read this handwriting countless times, almost to the point where he could recite it by heart.

Those words in the handwriting are so brash, yet so sincere and touching...

It's like a moment of bliss to the soul.

Liang hugged Guang tightly, and announced in his ear, "I'm back, Guang."

Light suddenly opened his eyes wide.

If... people can see the picture through the sound.

Just thinking about it, he must have seen it—under the auspicious snow, the seeds buried in the frozen soil finally sprouted after the winter, just like a newborn baby, first shivering a little, then stretching its body, Dots open their arms to the sky.

Last night, Liang once said that he was fine.

But until then, he finally felt that all the darkness had passed.

"...Welcome back, Ryo."

The author has something to say:

Look, rainbow!A certain bear waved a small flag and said so~
